The Serial Killer (continued …)

“The mother went to her son’s YouTube channel and found the video in which he threatens to kill people. She alerted authorities and set off frantically with her ex-husband to Santa Barbara.”

But then …

“Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies who showed up at Rodger’s doorstep to check on his mental health, however, weren’t aware of any videos, the department’s spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said. They concluded after their visit that the well-mannered if shy young man posed no risk.”

At 3:30 yesterday morning … something was on the line. This is fishing metaphor in Scriptural Sense. This is Spiritual Vision. This is Gift. We started the first essay, The Serial Killer, sharing in man’s inability to Commune with God—having left his first Love. Any priest, pastor or minister who writes or preaches homilies through this type of experience knows what I am talking about. They pay attention. They are in some stage or plane of Spiritual Awareness. The Spirit is “talking” to them. They are in the early stage of wakefulness. The Spirit woke me and was telling me: get up, Photini, you have work. There is something I want you to see. There is something I want you to share.

This could be every believer’s life, not just the priest, pastor or minister. And if you continue in the process of waking, and there is a process, you might come into the Spirit. Many are called; few are chosen Matthew 22.14. But what does it mean to come into the Spirit? It means you can Commune “fluidly” in the Spiritual Realm of God. It means that if you ask Agl. Paul a question, you can hear a response. It means that if you ask, your “eight” Senses are in wakefulness to HEAR, and it means that you are instructed in the good and what is of the enemy. But what is more likely, and more to the Purpose of the believer would be the ability to Commune with an Angel of God, possibly your guardian angel … but this is more likely to be a reality should you come into awareness through one who is in the Spirit, one who is with Gift of Light. This would be one who is your Spiritual Mentor, and or Spiritual Helper. The Language that comes forth within this plane, however, is not that of Mankind, or even Humankind, for it is measured in partnering and placement, and carries Spirit Voice unlike the worldly voice. If you are steadily and consistently moving in this type of Community, you begin “to be adopted” within this Language, which is a Language of Love. This is Prayer of the Heart. And tears are as ‘common’ as awe—as common as sleep, visions, dreams—as common as eating, drinking, discerning. You are virginal, and you know “the humility” to be of Wisdom—of truth, and are thereby awarded Spiritual drink … Spiritual food: Spiritual Knowledge. You are knownMatthew 7.21.

You then begin to Understand how Spiritual Knowledge is to be used. Imagine how a believer such as this might be able to realize when a child has become terribly lost. This Language is not of Religious origin, for Religion is merely a tool—a thing. If you are able to begin this journey taking nothing with you, as the disciples of Christ started out being instructed to take nothing for the road, then you are in Understanding on Truth.

Why do I use the word Spirit and Spiritual so much? To be heard above the din. God is Spirit (John 4).It is Scriptural, but not everybody that uses these words are speaking of God, or what is of God. That new agers use spirit and spiritual to express their way—even borrowing Scripture at times—is likely modernizing for agenda, but if they are calling you to self-denial, they are calling you to something other than “Love the Lord your to God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” They call you to themselves. Any Truth Prophet, Mystic or Advocate of the Lord God does not call others to himself, to his own cause, to his own institution, or to his own agenda … he calls to the One. He calls attention to GOD’S WORD. Look, see, he says … It is written. I invite you to discern. I invite you to pray with me, according to the will of God. When Jesus instructed His disciples, He told them to PROCLAIM THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Now, in this, there is much to tell … much to share …

There is a hot and a cold, a warm and a cool in this Understanding that fluctuates, or vibrates within perplexity of Truth, and it all depends on “where” you are Spiritually. Where are you? “I am on the up side of cool wisdom, ” or “I am on the down side of warmth,” or, “My pacing is off and I am being chastised.” What does all this mean? Lord asks Elijah who has spent the night in a cave, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” I touched on this in another essay. Lord is saying: you have entered … past deeds—a form of denial. Lord then directs Elijah in the manner he should go; first, within the wilderness/desert (a hot and cold) of Damascus (dwelling), then to anoint Hazael king over Aram … which is Lord’s instruction: anoint “what GOD HAS SEEN or SEES” over “the father of the multitude.” What Lord is telling Elijah to do is to place God’s Word—God’s Will AS PROPHET to the multitude. This is the FIRST LOVE (see John’s Revelation on Ephesus). There is a process being shown here: a first, a second and a third, and all that ruminates within these three. This gives us a peek at how the planes are placed Scripturally, as well as how man is placed in the world. It is as I said in an earlier essay: looks like the letter T. This, by the way, is a tool of good use. And if you go back and read through those earlier essays you will begin to see how this connects, and how it relates to that cross that we are to take up …

The ladder is another way to Understand this rise of movement.

Last night I was told: You turned left when we hoped you would turn right. This is not only direction but also “property.” Once you begin to Understand this, you begin to unravel the MYSTERIES of the Covenant. So, what had I done? I know how I was used in this that I might share, and let me tell you, it is complex. What this directional “misstep” is sharing … is hearing too much and not seeing for the Purpose at hand. Seers see plenty … but often fall short in the process, because they often see too much, and do not hear, but I am not Seer. I know that I was to Understand how this occurs, and this is why I was used—that I might share. IT is a private affair for ITs property. What this is saying is that it is a “Placement” Teaching. This is where one is being of God’s Will, also understood as …”his being” CHILD OF GOD … and why God is a jealous God, AND … why we are to be bride to Christ. Here is where the Energy and Essence (Masculine and Feminine) of God conjoin and are of One, but IN perpetual MOVEMENT. We aren’t stagnant, labeled, arid, lackluster, bigoted, semi-conscious instruments. We are igniting. Of use. Constant. Ever-flowing— upward mobility. This is the heart ascending to the mind. This is our Return to likeness of God.

Incidentally, the right and the left is beautifully illustrated in the Martha and Mary story in Luke 10. This is as aromatic as the flow of movement in Understanding can be! Martha is the right as Mary is the left. There is also element of the orthodox and the catholic in this story, which always makes me smile. Can you figure out which is which? I naturally went right. I said in a previous essay that orthodoxy is of promise, but one cannot deny catholicism. So, where are you Spiritually?

Now, those advocating Protestant as doctrinal belief in that previous statement, and refusing these, are missing the greater whole of God’s Trust. Think about this. And I am not talking about doctrine here, but Worth within Organized Fellowship (supper with Martha and Mary, the disciples and The Prophet Messiah as metaphor in Light).

Why the tears? Shedding. It’s called shedding. You are being stripped of the layers of denial, judgement, ignorance, ego, false preaching, malice, envy … even doubt and skepticism. Not caution—skepticism. You understand that you are ill and need healing. You become instructed by God. This is Spirit. Tears, as Agl. Klimacus will tell you is a GIFT.

A few things to discern:

Who is your heavenly brother?

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. Luke 8.21

One must understand what is of the world, and what is of God. What do you call family? Who do you call brother? Not all roads leads to the One.

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.Matthew 7.14

In whose HOUSE have you made your bed?

My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? John 14.2

Where are YOU?

10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 2 Corinthians 3

I invite you, Alfred, and others to comment on THE SERIAL KILLER and the above article (attached link). And I call you to REMEMBRANCE. Believers, and nonbelievers should be asking: is history repeating? Are we watching church and state unfold as it did centuries ago, when there was a dynasty of murderous activity for the one room schoolhouse of the minds of men, destined to repeat the horrors born of fear and desire for control? Is religion in politics the INQUISITION of yesteryear? Acceptance of intolerance for tolerance according to man, and calling the absence of Light your brother in the name of RELIGION their way? Whose religion? I ask. Whose God? I ask.

I do not see the Mary of the Biblical Martha-Mary as Jesus’ mother, Mary. I view this story as purely Teaching—Teaching within Prophesy: the evolution of God and Man. Martha is of Hearing, and Understands what is necessary for the Work. Mary demonstrates vision, which is of the mind. This is the Gift of the Mystic. She sees Him. The two are of importance in God Purpose. There is another—a very special Understanding here, and this has to do with Didymus …

I would also like to share an incident that a friend witnessed. He was in a mall in Indiana, and he was watching children play in a small fountain of water. He observed a Muslim father grab his daughter who he said appeared to be about 8 years old, and begin smacking her around because she allowed her head to get wet … her brothers were permitted to play in the fountain, and she wanted to, as well. My friend called in security. I think I would have also alerted 911.

Is this tolerated now in our society? Is this what we welcome as brother? Given recent events regarding one Religious leader, if I were his flock, and I had daughters and women I loved, I would be very, very uncomfortable at his understanding of what is peace. Then again, maybe his lifestyle does not permit him a real hard look at what is really going on in the religious sectors of the societies of the world, including his own … maybe he lives in ignorance on what is of the ENERGY AND ESSENCE of God: the Masculine and Feminine of the Godhood, and how women are viewed within his own legendary accomplice. Then again, maybe the Papal Curia supports the discrimination, distrust, misuse and denial of female person, daughter, woman … Eve. All one has to do is look at the bed these are made in …

Corruption inside the Roman Curia — the Vatican’s vast bureaucracy — is nothing new. In the 15th century, for example, Pope Sixtus IV appointed six of his nephews as cardinals. One of them went on to raise a personal fortune by selling indulgences, or exemptions from eternal punishment for past sins.

In recent years, corruption inside the Curia has taken on a more 21st century flavor. The VatiLeaks scandal revealed deep-seated cronyism inside the Holy See, a battle to control of the highly secretive Vatican bank, and a campaign to undermine the Vatican’s former secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone.

Pope Francis has set his sights on reform: In April, he appointed eight influential cardinals to advise him on how to solve the problems within the Vatican bureaucracy. However, as Gianluigi Nuzzi, the Italian journalist who broke the VatiLeaks story, warned in Secrets of the Vatican, “All efforts to reform the Curia over the last century, enacted by all the popes, failed.”

To learn more about previous attempts to reform the Curia — and the potential for reform — FRONTLINE spoke with the Rev. Thomas J. Reese, a senior analyst for the National Catholic Reporter and the author of Inside the Vatican: The Politics and Organization of the Catholic Church. This is an edited transcript of that conversation:

The reputation of the Curia was badly damaged by VatiLeaks. What do you see as the underlying problem?

I would divide it into parts. First there are the rumors of financial scandals. And there it’s just like any other non-profit or even profit-making corporation. Where there’s money, there’s temptation.

I think we’re going to see more scandals in the future and I would argue that that is bad news and good news. Bad news because it’s a scandal and it’s an embarrassment, and good news because people are going to be getting caught now by the reforms that have been put in by Pope Benedict and Pope Francis.

… That gets to the essential question of what is the role of the Roman Curia? Are they a governing elite or are they to be more like a civil service? In other words, are they princes or are they bureaucrats?

I think what Pope Francis is trying to do is change the Vatican from a papal court into something more like a civil service. He speaks about how leadership is for service — not for power, not for prestige, not for position [but that change is] going to be tough to do because of centuries of operating the way they have.

To that point, how do the troubles in the Curia today compare to the past?

Compared to the past, we’ve got a Vatican full of saints. I mean, they were selling indulgences. They had a half a dozen mistresses.

And of course they had a lot more money back in those days, comparatively speaking. When the Vatican controlled a third of Italy, there was lots of corruption available. In fact, when you got an office, it was presumed you were going to milk for all it was worth. That’s why you wanted it. That’s why you bought it.

So I think the opportunities for abuse are much less today than they were in the past.

Fair enough, but centuries later there are still problems. Why is reform so difficult?

Some of the explanation is quite simple. Have you ever met a cardinal with an MBA? You don’t. Seminarians are not trained in accounting. Seminarians are not trained in management. So suddenly they’re a bishop and they’re running a multi-million dollar operation called a diocese, and they have absolutely no training or experience to do that. No training in human resource management. I doubt if 10 percent of the bishops can read the financial audit that their auditors prepare for them.

So what happens? They make judgments about people based on things that have absolutely nothing to do with their knowledge of finances or management. They’re so ignorant of management and finances and human resources, they don’t even know how to hire someone to do it for them. So this is a problem.

The other problem is that, again, because they are bishops and cardinals, it’s very hard to fire somebody that does a bad job. In a normal corporation, if somebody can’t do the job, you get rid of them. And if you hire somebody and after six months you come to the conclusion [that] this isn’t working, you can fire them.

Well if the pope hires somebody and makes him a cardinal or an archbishop and gives him a job in the Vatican, how is he going to fire him? Once they’re there, you’re stuck with them until they turn 75 and have to retire. In a certain sense, because we’re so charitable and nice to people, we can’t be ruthless in rooting out the incompetence.

So where should reform start?

Three things are needed. One is a real change in the culture of the institution, and that’s what Francis is trying to do through example and preaching, because he talks about it being more of service. Secondly you have to put in good people and that’s what he’s trying to do too. And then thirdly, you’ve got to make changes in organization and structure, and you see him doing that in the financial area already, [but] I think he needs to do more.

For example, I have said for a long time that none of the people working in the Curia should be bishops or cardinals. Until you change that, until you stop making them bishops and cardinals, it’s always going to be a papal court. You have to stop making them bishops and cardinals so that they’ll realize that they’re servants, not rulers.

Are you optimistic?

I’m hopeful. I would not say that I’m optimistic. You could have all the structures in the world, but they only work as well as the people you put in charge of them. So I’m hopeful, but this is something that people are going to have to keep an eye on.

The thing that makes me optimistic, at least in some areas, is the fact that they are now subject to outside examination by Moneyval [the Council of Europe’s Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism]. This is new. Reformers come and go, but if you have to make public reports and have people from outside coming in and looking at what you’re doing, that makes reform more permanent.

I was looking to see if the RCC gets a pay back on religious art in public museums, and came across the above article. What strikes me is a kind of “My gosh! This is the inception of the Roman Catholic Church?! This is its foundation?” Of course, I knew of these practices, but when I come across it, I think how the ills have taken horrific forms (the blasphemous selling of indulgences, clergy sexual abuse, and the SELLING OF BABIES-articles following), and I am reminded of the house built on sand. From this INSTITUTION came much of what we have today—almost the entire mindset is built around a bunch of misogynist brats in positions of power. Has it changed? The cover-ups have gotten sleeker and more convoluted. The enemy finds new ways to deceive in its power-mongering. Sure God does bring good from the wreckage, and He does show man time and time and time again where he is in error … where he has done wrong … but man CHOOSES his gods according to the almighty matin—money—too, too often.

Do you think God is allowing the WORLD AT LARGE to see what an institution using HIS NAME improperly has become?

I sure do. But what is disheartening is what has followed… Instead of Spiritual Awareness … these consumed, and consumed …

What is still to come will rock the religious.

***********************************************************

Up to 300,000 Spanish babies were stolen from their parents and sold for adoption over a period of five decades, a new investigation reveals.
The children were trafficked by a secret network of doctors, nurses, priests and nuns in a widespread practice that began during General Franco’s dictatorship and continued until the early Nineties.
Hundreds of families who had babies taken from Spanish hospitals are now battling for an official government investigation into the scandal.
Several mothers say they were told their first-born children had died during or soon after they gave birth.

Identity crisis: Randy Ryder as a baby being cradled in a Malaga hospital in 1971 by the woman who bought him
But the women, often young and unmarried, were told they could not see the body of the infant or attend their burial.
In reality, the babies were sold to childless couples whose devout beliefs and financial security meant that they were seen as more appropriate parents.

Seen for the first time…Edward VIII posing for the coronation that never was
Can it ever be right for a mother to leave her unwanted child inside a hospital baby hatch?
Official documents were forged so the adoptive parents’ names were on the infants’ birth certificates.
In many cases it is believed they were unaware that the child they received had been stolen, as they were usually told the birth mother had given them up.
Journalist Katya Adler, who has investigated the scandal, says: ‘The situation is incredibly sad for thousands of people.
‘There are men and women across Spain whose lives have been turned upside-down by discovering the people they thought were their parents actually bought them for cash. There are also many mothers who have maintained for years that their babies did not die – and were labelled “hysterical” – but are now discovering that their child has probably been alive and brought up by somebody else all this time.’

Reunited: Randy Ryder with Manoli Pagador, who believes she may be his real mother
Experts believe the cases may account for up to 15 per cent of the total adoptions that took place in Spain between 1960 and 1989.
It began as a system for taking children away from families deemed politically dangerous to the regime of General Franco, which began in 1939. The system continued after the dictator’s death in 1975 as the Catholic church continued to retain a powerful influence on public life, particularly in social services.
It was not until 1987 that the Spanish government, instead of hospitals, began to regulate adoptions.
The scandal came to light after two men, Antonio Barroso and Juan Luis Moreno, discovered they had been stolen as babies.
Mr Moreno’s ‘father’ confessed on his deathbed to having bought him as a baby from a priest in Zaragoza in northern Spain. He told his son he had been accompanied on the trip by Mr Barroso’s parents, who bought Antonio at the same time for 200,000 pesetas – a huge sum at the time.
‘That was the price of an apartment back then,’ Mr Barroso said. ‘My parents paid it in instalments over the course of ten years because they did not have enough money.’

Bought for cash: Journalist Katya Adler with Juan Luis Moreno, who was sold as a baby
DNA tests have proved that the couple who brought up Mr Barroso were not his biological parents and the nun who sold him has admitted to doing so.
When the pair made their case public, it prompted mothers all over the country to come forward with their own experiences of being told their babies had died, but never believing it. One such woman was Manoli Pagador, who has begun searching for her son.
A BBC documentary, This World: Spain’s Stolen Babies, follows her efforts to discover if he is Randy Ryder, a stolen baby who was brought up in Texas and is now aged 40.
In some cases, babies’ graves have been exhumed, revealing bones that belong to adults or animals. Some of the graves contained nothing at all.
The BBC documentary features an interview with an 89-year-old woman named Ines Perez, who admitted that a priest encouraged her to fake a pregnancy so she could be given a baby girl due to be born at Madrid’s San Ramon clinic in 1969. ‘The priest gave me padding to wear on my stomach,’ she says.
It is claimed that the San Ramon clinic was one of the major centres for the practice.
Many mothers who gave birth there claim that when they asked to see their child after being told it had died, they were shown a baby’s corpse that appeared to be freezing cold.
The BBC programme shows photographs taken in the Eighties of a dead baby kept in a freezer, allegedly to show grieving mothers.
Despite hundreds of families of babies who disappeared in Spanish hospitals calling on the government to open an investigation into the scandal, no nationally co-ordinated probe has taken place.
As a result of amnesty laws passed after Franco’s death, crimes that took place during his regime are usually not examined. Instead, regional prosecutors across the country are investigating each story on a case-by-case basis, with 900 currently under review.
But Ms Adler says: ‘There is very little political will to get to the bottom of the situation.’
There are believed to be thousands more cases that will never come to light because the stolen children fear their adoptive parents will be seen as criminals.
Many of the families of stolen babies have taken DNA tests in the hope of eventually being matched with their children. Some matches have already been made but, without a nationally co-ordinated database, reuniting lost relatives will be a very difficult process.
This World: Spain’s Stolen Babies is on BBC2 on Tuesday at 9pm.

Now, do you think the RC members care about any of this? Do you think they even know about any of this? I have never been a Roman Catholic; I am not of any religion, and I share again that I push no self-serving agenda or political cause, but what I have learned about this institution in just 3 years both in deed AND Rc doctrine of faith … makes me ask: And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body, it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.

I will finish commenting for today because I have a barn to address, and many other areas of work. I had mentioned somewhere either on SPIR or my blog, or both, about the Vatican crack down on the nuns. I found this shrewdly advertised, really, from both ends, but what I see unmistakably is the message of what the Vatican WILL permit, and what it wants the world to know it won’t permit. It wants the world to know it will not tolerate women in literature, theology, teaching, and the Spirit Arts, unless it can control the image, and how this will bring for them what THEY WANT. If you take a look at their history, you see the blatant fantastical “visions” of both the men and women they now “claim” as theirs (Clare and Francis, Teresa – Avila, John of the Cross, and others, even Ignatius – Layola, who has been ‘fatally’ devoted to the Pope?????? in ‘their’ historical records … ahem … when in fact, this is NOT what THIS was ever about) … But what became of these women supposedly of the Roman Church? What became of Bernadette? Forced into obscurity? This is certainly NOT what we see in HOLY SCRIPTURE, at least not what I SEE, and what I am shown. Was Teresa labeled a heretic by this same institution? If it brings the institution money … they will find a way to tolerate just about anything, so long as they can “control” the image. Well, this is one time they cannot control the image!

I know of at least a half a dozen vocational PRIESTS selling NEW AGE and other teachings that are not a part of Roman Catholic teaching(doctrine of their faith). And these have made a heck of a lot of money doing it, while their flock languished … while they fed themselves and ‘their’ leaders, whomever these might be … while children were sexually abused, while the men harvested their own brand of sexual, and or religious intrigue. These have been at it for a long time.

If you think I am reaching … you are correct … and in this (Spiritually Seeking), I hear and see much. Even I, a non RC, and Spiritual Arts representative, was censored in a Roman Catholic Institution … while sharing in an art exhibit which was held in one of their buildings, and was NOT advertised as a Roman Catholic Art Show for only Roman Catholics, or even Catholic art … and the contract I signed to do the show never stated any stipulations or requirements in this. They received my Artist Statement in a timely manner … and those involved in the sabotage of this Work of the Spirit, censored the writing! Imagine being a woman not of that institution … being treated this way? I did not make a vow of any Roman Catholic declaration that they could have any control over me. I could have charged them with sexual discrimination … and a few other unpleasantries, but Lord told me to be patient … and I have been, three years …

The time has come for what Christ calls. In this, much will be revealed.
